The Village of Yesteryear Museum

In a beautiful medieval mansion in Saint-Guilhem-le-Désert, you can learn about life in the village... a long time ago.

Here, you'll discover the life and trades of yesteryear: wood turners, washerwomen by the water, clog makers... all human-sized santons that take you back several decades.

Over 3,200 sq. m. of floor space, come and discover a vanished authenticity. The skills and crafts of yesteryear, through 55 themes of installed trades!

The tour ends in a delightful tea room.

A visit that allows you to better appreciate the site of Saint-Guilhem-du-Désert, a major tourist attraction.

While you're here, take the opportunity to visit the Motobécane Museum
